Correlated Stochastic Processes in Physical
Meteorology.
 Sponsor: National
Science Foundation
PI: Alex Kostinski
Funding level: $249,716
Period: 2006-2008.
Abstract:
This project is the continuation of 17 years of continuous NSF supported
theoretical work on this topic. The primary objective of this research
is to explore the role of pronounced number fluctuations
in cloud and precipitation physics, radar meteorology, and in radiative
transfer through clouds. The mathematical tools for this work will be
provided by the theory of statistically stationary
but correlated stochastic processes. This framework also provides a unifying
principle for this research: clustering in space and time and the resulting
enhanced fluctuations characterized by calculations and measurements of
the pair correlation function.
